The Greens want to tax billionaires, end fossil fuel handouts, and stop war crimes — so the media calls them dangerous. Meanwhile, Scots College builds a castle and the leaders’ debate puts us to sleep. New Scam of the Week available on Sunday

The Scots College - the one that built the faux castle - gets $9 million of public funding every year.
It does not need a cent of public money

To illustrate, when I taught in a public school, I prepared applications for extra funding for special needs students. Each application took a long time to write, and if we secured a thousand dollars to buy some additional teacher's aide hours, this was considered a big win. The struggle is real.
It’s hard to celebrate public schools gaining full funding. Its hard because kids now in kindergarten must wait till Year 10 before their education is fully supported. Its also hard when most private schools remain overfunded. Its hard to celebrate inequality. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
